March is a funny month, isn't it? In like a lion out like a lamb, isn't that what they say? It's also the month that brings Spring. And my need for Spring to come sooner rather than later really inspired me to focus on the "Spring" part of the month when I was planning posts. That's what brought up all these posts about veggies lately. Just as March is in like a lion - we

It was a lazy Sunday morning at our house and the consequence of the previous nights shenanigans meant that the television was (unfortunately) off. Sunday morning spent with Netflix is how we usually manage to score an hour or two of quiet time on the weekend. But when my preschooler is making bad choices or demonstrating some undesirable language, it's often the first thing

Now that we have put the planning and family fun of March Break behind us it is time to start looking ahead to the next big holiday… Summer vacation!!! Now what to do with the kiddies for 8 WEEKS while they are on summer holidays?!?!?
Some of my favorite childhood memories were at summer campswith my cousins. Ever summer my Mom & Aunt would plan a couple of weeks where

What a perfect way to celebrate my 1 year blogiversary then a cloth diaper giveaway! It is hard to believe that it has been 1 year since I started this blog.

We have been talking this month about the many ways you can prepare veggies to keep things fresh in your dinner routine. We would be remiss if we didn’t include a staple around our house… Soup!

Well we are over half way through the LEGO® DUPLO® 30 Days of Play Challenge and I can’t believe how much fun we have been having. As a working mom the time I get to spend with Monkey in the evenings is precious. I want to make the most of the few hours we do get to spend together, but coming up with creative ways for us to play together is sometimes tough for me. The 30

Zin Frames is company, that I'm proud to say is Canadian, and they asked us to take a look at their customized picture frames. Can I say that I jumped at the chance? I sure did! You see, I have two girls who are currently sleeping and hanging out in a bedroom that even on the best days could be described as 'unfinished'. See

With Monkey getting closer to 2 years old, more and more people have started to ask when JAM and I will be having a second baby. I brush off their comments with a chuckle and a “Not right now” or “You never know” but underneath that cover is the truth that I am scared.

In my post about meal planning from a while ago, I mentioned that my family eats kale chips. There were a couple of commenters who were curious about the recipe that I used to make mine. So, here we are, just in time for St. Patrick’s Day – Kale Chips: not really Irish food but certainly green.
